What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
There are no sensitive topics in this book. The depiction of Maisy undressed for her bath is simple, anatomically neutral (as a cartoon mouse), and completely appropriate for the context of bathing and for the intended toddler audience. The approach is entirely secular and focuses on a universal activity.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a toddler, approximately 12 to 30 months old, who is learning daily routines. It is especially helpful for a child who shows reluctance or anxiety around bathtime, as it reframes the experience as fun and predictable. It's also great for little ones who thrive on routine and enjoy seeing their daily lives reflected in stories.
